I got a different crash one time with my STR, so I'll assume it is a similar issue.

Guess I formatted the commit message on that backout incorrectly.

Clear mRegisteredIntersectionObservers properly when unlinking DOMSlots.

Clear mRegisteredIntersectionObservers when unlinking

Markus, this is a simple fix but I guess I still need an r+ from someone.

Comment 10

[Markus Stange [:mstange]]

How is the crash happening, and how does the patch fix the bug?

Comment 11

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Adding the Linux signature and changing to all since it affected all platforms.

Tracking 53+ for this topcrash regression.

In this particular case (and seams in general whenever a new website is loaded and all objects of an old tab get collected at once) the order our unlink code for IntersectionObserver A observing a target B gets executed is:

1. unlink code for DOMSlots of B (holding a hash table with a pointer to A)
2. unlink code of A
3. unlink code of B

If we don't clear the hash table in DOMSlots, the unlink code in step 3 accesses a pointer into freed memory of A leading to the crash.

Ok, the patch makes sense to fix the Unlink crash.

As per our conversation on IRC, I'm not confident that this patch also fixes the NotifyIntersectionObservers crash. This might be the real bug that caused the NotifyIntersectionObservers, or there might be another lingering bug that just doesn't trigger any more with this patch. I think it would be a good idea to try to get to the bottom of the NotifyIntersectionObservers crash.

For what it is worth, there's no guarantee about the order that Unlink methods will get called, so the code should be able to handle any ordering.

[Tobias Schneider [:tobytailor]]

The crashes in NotifyIntersectionObservers and UnlinkTarget are unrelated. Changed this bug to fix the NotifyIntersectionObservers and created bug 1325103 for UnlinkTarget.

Setting qe-verify- since this seems to have automated coverage.
